I'm looking to purchase a Cold water regulator set. I been looking at Sherwood Blizzard and Maximus as well as Apeks TX series regulators. Do you guys have any suggestions?

:whoa:
Check out the Apex TX-50s, TX-100, or TX-40. The sealed first stage is excellent. The regs are real work horses that don't need a lot of pampering.
A great overall reg.

I think you can find the TX-50s in the 300 to 350.00 range. Check with your local Seaquest dealer.

phislet,
I haven't looked at that particular one yet. I have found that people recommend the Apeks TX series and heard that the sherwood blizzard is good too. I haven't gotten to many responses on different brands yet. I will have to look in the aqualung glacia. Try going to http://www.scubadiving.com and you can find equipment reviews there. Good luck and let me know what you find for cold water regulators.

Save your money and time and Just get the Apeks TX50, be sure and get the non-swivel first stage this would be the DS-4, meaning Dry Sealed, 4 low pressure ports, non swivel.
For cold water this is the Cat's Meow.

Ok, Don, what's wrong with my swivel? 
Ardal...that sounds like an exceptional price to me if your buying it through a shop. I believe that setup retails at around $700US.

There is nothing wrong with the swivel.
The DS4 has exactly the same insides as the DST, and exactly the same performance, but it just costs quite a bit less.
I like the comfort of the swivel, however, if you are on a budget the DST is more 'bang for your buck' as it is cheeper than the DST.
